+- Short options to curl that requires parameters can now be specified without
+  having the option and its parameter space separated. -ofile works as good as
+  -o file. -m20 is equal to -m 20. Do note that this goes for single-letter
+  options only, verbose --long-style options still must be separated with
+  space from their parameters.
